The best musical of all time?

You're the twelfth person that's told me that...
Ironically, I only like two songs in carousel (You'll never walk again, um, alone, and what's the use of wond'rin). Just goes to show you how much variation there can be in one show.
I do quite like If I Loved You, but personally I don't think it's that good in the context of the show (it always remains me of 'don't like you' from the boys in the photograph. A few songs later and they're married. A bit superfluos really). However, I have only seen two productions of Carousel, so it might be the actor and actress involved and not the song.

I finally got the chance to see Camelot and State Fair a while back. I was unimpressed with both films.

"Camelot" was filmed on the old "Kung Fu" TV series set with David Carradine, just redressed to look like more like a castle. You know when they "borrow" a set, there isn't much effort put into making the film extraordinary, and no Julie Andrews or Richard Burton. It was way too long, also. Then the set was used again in the terrible "Lost Horizons" musical version. "State Fair" isn't one of Rodgers and Hart's best musicals but there's a couple of good songs in it that became standards. It likely looked better on the big screen because the prints I have seen are terrible with muted, almost distorted, sound. No excurse, really, as in the theaters it was CinemaScope and 4 channel stereo sound.
